Not to mention, my perception (and maybe it's only that) is that socialized healthcare is being used as an extra excuse for putting restrictions on what we can do, because we are all dependent on the state and they can't take care of us adequately. I know there is more subtlety than that, but personally I only see that socialized healthcare can be compatible with free society when it is completely decoupled from telling people how to behave

- version_five 6y agoCulturally we don't really stand up for ourselves, and my perception (as a tech worker) is that calling out any of these measures in my social group is roughly equivalent to saying I don't believe in vaccines or climate change or something, so I've not heard a lot of people voice strong contrarian views. Also, these policies are much worse for the working class that we don't seem to care about, which are either immigrants or people outside of Toronto or Montreal, so don't count for politicians. It's just really another conversation piece for the zoom crowd.
